In modern industries, the majority of the conventional materials have been replaced by Natural fiber composites due to its high strength to weight ratio, biodegradable, eco-friendly environment, etc. Moreover, natural fibers are easily available and it can be extracted from the trees. Also, it has good mechanical properties, high durability, and more corrosion resistance. Based on various literature surveys, natural fibers are a very good alternative for Engineering and Manufacturing industries. By keeping these reasons in mind, these paper reviews properties and mechanical characterization of some of natural fiber hybrid composites. A brief study has been carried out to acquire exposed and practical knowledge on the use of natural fibers such as banana, jute, sisal, hemp, flax, kenaf etc..

“…Natural fibers are used as a reinforcement in composite materials as an alternative to replace the use of synthetic fibers in order to obtain low-cost and environmentally friendly products (Cuéllar & Muñoz, 2010;Kalia, Kaith & Kaur, 2014;Rodriguez, Jose, Daniel, Viviane & Alves Lavinia, 2014;Thakur & Thakur, 2014). Natural fibers are the most abundant polymers in nature, which are present in leaves, stems, seeds and plant fruits (Thomas, Paul, Pothan & Deepa, 2011).…”

This paper presents a review on hydrogels applied to agriculture emphasizing on the use of natural fibers. The objectives were to examine, trends in research addressed to identify natural fibers used in hydrogels development and methods for modifying natural fibers, understand factors which determine the water retention capacity of a hydrogel. Consequently, this paper shows some methodologies used to evaluate the hydrogels efficiency and to collect in tables, relevant information in relation to methods of natural fibers modification and hydrogel synthesis. It was found that previous research focused on hydrogels development processed with biodegradable polymers such as starch, chitosan and modified natural fibers, cross-linked with potassium acrylate and acrylamide, respectively. In addition, current researches aimed to obtaining hydrogels with improved properties, which have allowed a resistance to climatic variations and soil physicochemical changes, such as pH, presence of salts, temperature and composition. In fact, natural fibers such as sugarcane, agave fiber and kapok fiber, modified with maleic anhydride, are an alternative to obtain hydrogels due to an increasing of mechanical properties and chemically active sites. However, the use of natural nanofibers in hydrogels, has been a successful proposal to improve hydrogels mechanical and swelling properties, since they give to material an elasticity and rigidity properties. A hydrogel efficiency applied to soil, is measured throughout properties as swellability, mechanical strength, and soil water retention. It was concluded that hydrogels, are an alternative to the current needs for the agricultural sector.Key words: Hydrogels, methods of modifying fiber, nanofibers, superabsorbent, water retention capacity. ResumenEn el presente artículo se presenta una revisión de literatura sobre hidrogeles aplicados a la agricultura, haciéndose mayor énfasis en el uso de fibras vegetales. Los objetivos fueron examinar las tendencias en la investigación, identificar las fibras naturales utilizadas en el desarrollo de hidrogeles, mostrar los métodos de modificación de fibras naturales para la elaboración de hidrogeles, entender los factores que determinan la capacidad de retención de agua de un hidrogel, mostrar algunas metodologías empleadas para evaluar la eficiencia de un hidrogel y recopilar en tablas, información relevante en relación a métodos de modificación de fibras naturales y de síntesis de hidrogeles. Se encontró que las investigaciones se orientan al desarrollo de hidrogeles elaborados a bases de polímeros biodegradables como almidón, quitosano y fibras vegetales modificadas, entrecruzadas con acrilato de potasio y acrilamida. Además, las investigaciones apuntan a la obtención de hidrogeles con propiedades mejoradas, que permitan resistir las variaciones climáticas y los cambios fisicoquímicos del suelo como el pH, la presencia de sales, temperatura y composición. Fibras naturales como caña de azúcar, fibra de agave y fibra de kapoc, modificadas con ...

“…In this research it was considered to prepare bioplastic or cassava bagasse starch-based biocomposite reinforced with microfibrillated cellulose of bamboo, bamboo cellulose fiber. Bamboo denotes as potential fiber sources for biocomposites matrix [17][18], as composite filler for polyvinylchloride (PVC) [15], reinforcing nanocomposite starch-polyvinylacetate (PVA) [12], reinforcing polylactic acid (PLA) [20], reinforcing starch-based composite [21]. However, both (cassava bagasse starch and bamboo microfibrillated cellulose) have shortcomings regard with their properties.…”
